This is my first electric mower, and I love it! I have a fairly small lawn, so dragging an extension cord isn't a big deal, and the mower is so quiet than I can mow any time of the day without disturbing my neighbors. I also appreciate not having to worry about the gas, tune-ups, and winter storage hassles that gas-powered mowers require. A flip-over handle would be nice, but they don't seem to sell those nowadays.

I purchased this mower with a slight bit of hesitance, because I was afraid with it being plug in the motor would burn out.....boy was I wrong. We love it and it has even convinced my 13 year old to cut the grass!!!

Have had a Black and decker lawn mower for 12 or 15 years and it is still working fine just needed a grass catcher and could not find one for this model, The MM800R look like it will fill in just fine for another 12 or 15 years.

My property is divided into a large side yard and a small front yard. Although the mower is only 18" wide it still handles the large area very nicely. My fiancé actually commented that, it gives him a nice work-out having to walk up and down the large area a few more times than with a wider cut machine and the low front end makes it easy to cut below bushes. All-in-all it's a great little mower.

Great for trim work or a small lawn. Lighter than it looks (because same cover is used for the battery-powered cordless version). Easy to assemble (4 bolts for handle). Easy to adjust. Bagger is easy on/off. Can clog on heavy wet grass but is easily cleared. You soon get used to managing the cord. Seems to work well enough on 50 foot 16 gauge (but 14 is better, 12 is ideal). Not tested on 100 foot 16 but 14 should be OK. I recommend 3 wire and GFCI. Runs quiet enough, low roar, no objectionable whine. Good safety switch. Looks well enough protected from rain that I would not worry about summer outside unprotected. Good owners manual. Rubber matt at rear makes it safer from slipping your feet under it going down a hill. Cuts very close to either side. Good value. Easier and neater than a string trimmer for most jobs. Would expect it to last 5-10 years.

I maintain about 3 acres of landscaped yard, most of which is done with a riding mower. There are some areas close to the house that are just really inconvenient or impossible to mow with the rider, which I cut with a push mower. My push mower needed some repairs so I decided to get this as a backup. However, after the first use of this mower I decided I will make it my primary mower, and save the old noisy stinky gasoline mower as a backup. This mower isn't silent, but it is quieter than a gasoline mower.

This mower does not like tall grass, however, so if this is your mower don't let the grass get too tall. Also, use a heavy gauge extension cord - I have noticed a difference in cutting power when using a small gauge cord (16 gauge 100 ft) vs. a larger gauge cord (12 gauge 100 ft), which gave the motor a bit more zip.

Also of note (as I have seen others make this mistake with electric mowers) this is a low maintenance mower, not zero maintenance. You may not have to check/change oil and fuel it up, but you will still need to clean it and keep the blades sharp.

If you have a small yard, or a small area of yard that needs a push mower, I think this is a fine mower.

Used on both sides of an Motor Home RV Lot in southern Texas. It's just the right size for this small job. It fits in my casita and I don't have to store gasoline.You have to adjust to using electrical cords, but it's not a problem for me.

Need to mow slowly to cut all the grass. It does mulch really well. Maintainng cord not to get into the cutting path is like another job. But, having cord is more environmentally friendly compared to gas and not worrying about running out of battery charge.

I bought this for our beach home that has a small lot. I like the 4 in 1 height adjuster since I have to cut the front yard at a different height than the back, and the fact that it is rleatively maintenance free, no gas can, winterizing, etc. The handle folds in half for storage. Cord management requires some dicipline.

I use the riding mower for the main lawn but it doesn't do so well on close spaces and around trees etc. My wife volunteered to do those if I would get her a mower she could handle so I found this one and she has no problem with it in any way. It's light and doesn't need to be cranked.

We have a small yard with lots of edges the lawnmower cut close to edges without use of a weed eater. Did an awesome job. We needed to reseed so we had different lenghts of grass, it cut evenly and well without exertion. It was noisy like all motored machines. Have already recommended it to my neighbors.

I have used a 19 in. electric mower for more than 6 years and have been very comfortable with it's performance. When I saw the CPO add for the 18 in. mower, I thought it might be good to have a little lighter mower. I received the new 18 in. mower and find it to be a good choice. It is lighter and I am enjoying the handling of the new mower. I think it mulches the cut grass and leaves better than the 19 in. unit.

I thought it would be time consuming to have to drag the power cord along when I mowed but it has turned out quite easy. I owned a rechargeable electric lawn mower but with this experience, I will never go back. Now I don't have to worry about having the mower charged all the time, and I can cut my lawn damped or not.

I used the mower the day after I received it. Did a really great job on my small lawn. The only issue I had was the kill switch. I wore a blister in the web of my hand by having to hold onto the kill switch. I understand the kill switch and like it. Just wish I did not have to hold onto it all the time. I recommend this mower to anyone with small yards.

i love it. it is easy and light. i have learned over the years with other electric lawn mowers to be careful of the electric chord, so i don't see that as a problem. this mower cuts very smoothly, is fairly quiet, and mulches everything in sight. very easy to maneuver. very glad with this purchase and i trust the refurbished product probably even more than if it were new. i knew that B&D would put a lot of thought into refurbishing their own product, and it works great.
